Shelf-Made Creative Services

Hello and welcome!

I'm a full-time book editor and script consultant offering professional and friendly advice to authors and screenwriters at all stages of story development. As a nomadic editor, I'm always on the move, often on trains, using the world as my office and working on makeshift desks to edit your novels and screenplays. I was previously at HarperCollins Canada and went freelance in 2019 to focus more on horror fiction and screenwriting. I also spent nearly four years building the film/TV division for a literary agency, developing treatments and pitching books for the screen to producers and studios. I love using my experience and expertise in these two industries to help writers achieve their goals!

Testimonials

Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below  

“I can't say enough about how easy she made the process—her notes were concise, perceptive, and organized so well, it made revisions fast and painless. Karmen is also a pro at recognizing and protecting the author's voice, one of the most vital aspects of editing. She undoubtedly made Crossroads a better book and made my life easier in the process. I highly recommend her editing services.”
